At this moment, on the battlefield that was more than thirty miles wide, thousands of white wolf cavalry were howling, following the tribe's banner, and began to gather on the right wing.
Although they looked chaotic and disorganized, even pushing and shoving each other, everyone who had ever seen them fighting should be terrified by this moment.
Because there are at least hundreds of eagle shooters lurking in this cavalry and three times as many quasi-eagle shooters.
Their archery skills were so accurate that they almost never missed a shot.
They are crazy and cold-blooded and never show mercy to their enemies.
Their equipment is sophisticated and excellent, the best among all the Xiongnu tribes!
More importantly, the war horses under their crotches are the best war horses in the known world.
Especially those Dawan horses among them are not only tall and handsome, they are far superior to other war horses in this world.
And it’s incredibly fast!
The Huns once conducted tests and found that when this kind of horse was running at high speed, it only took less than a quarter of an hour to cover a distance of ten miles.
And the test results at the standard distance of 500 steps for cavalry hedging are even more frightening. Just count from one to thirty!
The speed of these BMWs is so terrifying that even the Wusun Horse, which is also a good horse, is far inferior to them in short-distance bursts.
The Huns regarded these war horses as a gift from the gods and valued them more than anything else.
The military ministers even refused to let these precious horses go to the battlefield because they were afraid that these precious horses would be damaged.
But now, three thousand divine horses surrounded Lan Zheye, surrounding him, forming an attacking arrow.
Now, they are armed and ready to charge at any time.
…………………………………………
Holding a telescope, Yi Zong certainly would not despise or ignore this White Wolf Cavalry.
Apart from anything else, these white wolves riding on horses are enough to make Yi Zong salivate.
Let him be willing to take risks, let him not hesitate to let Li Guang's troops suffer huge casualties, for these horses, these BMWs, these horses that are the hope of the future of the Chinese cavalry.
You have to know that according to the Huns' custom, cavalry horses are usually mares.
This is because cavalry can move thousands of miles, and stallions will get in the way.
After all, if a stallion goes into heat, it will be very troublesome.
Moreover, for the Huns, the mare's milk produced by mares was also an important resource to support their battles.
This was the same in the Han Dynasty.
However, the Han army did not have the luxury of the Huns and could not be picky, so they had no choice but to castrate those naughty stallions to prevent them from causing trouble.
However, no one is willing to castrate the Dayuan and Wusun horses.
Every horse, male or female, is a treasure.
Even the Yulin Guards and the Tiger Guards only have a small number of these horses, and the other troops don't have any.
For this reason, the combat effectiveness of the Han army's cuirassiers was actually very limited.
But if these good horses can be captured, the shackles of the cuirassiers will be eliminated in the future.
Licking his lips, Yi Zong said to the generals on his left and right: "Let the Huns see the glory of our Han civilization... These barbarians still think that cavalry combat is a thing of the past, and that they can dominate the battlefield by relying on personal skills and brute force?
"
"Nuo!" Someone immediately took the order and left. Immediately afterwards, the Chinese army's general flag was waving, and among the Han cavalry square formations, the letter flags were also waving.
"The general has an order: all ministries must strictly abide by military orders, follow the disciplines of military conduct, and do not show the courage of ordinary men!" Military judges, one by one, were in the queue, strictly enforcing military laws.
"No!" All team leaders and commanders responded one after another.
At the same time, the people in front of the formation began to be pushed to one side by the auxiliary soldiers, making way for the cavalry to attack.
At this moment, in the entire Han army formation, the various cavalry units have been divided into three layers like the crossbow units in the past.
Layers upon layers, 20,000 cavalry and more than 30,000 horses were scattered throughout the land, along the roads and plains, over an area of 20 to 30 miles wide and more than ten miles long.
Looking at this scene, Yi Zong was quite pleased, but still a little regretful: "It's a pity that our army did not bring infantry. Otherwise, our army would have fought this battle more easily... But it doesn't matter. This coordination of infantry and cavalry is really too much."
Difficult……"
The surrounding generals also nodded after hearing this.
"What the general said is absolutely true..." Someone said: "In this world, apart from the Yulin Guards and the Tiger Guards, there is probably no third army that can coordinate with infantry and cavalry!"
Since the Battle of Mayi, the Hu Ben Guard and the Yu Lin Guard have become the strongest armies of the Han army.
Even today, when cuirass units have begun to be built in other field armies, no one dares to challenge the power and status of the Habayashi Guards and the Tiger Guards.
The reason is not that they are the emperor's guards.
In fact, in the army, combat effectiveness is the only criterion for measuring strength.
If you are not strong enough in battle, no matter whether you are a relative of the emperor or a prince or a noble, you will have to bow your head and act like a grandson.
Especially in today's atmosphere, warriors are very proud.
Without real ability, it is impossible to remain number one in the world.
The reason why the Yulin Guard and the Huben Guard are still able to let the Northern and Southern armies, the Yulin Guard, the Ba Shang Army, the Thorny Gate Army, and even the Juzhu Army and the Feihu Army obediently bow their heads and act like their younger brothers, is because of their incomparable strength.
combat effectiveness.
In the past, they relied on breastplates.
But now, it relies on foot-cavalry synergy that is so powerful that it is almost impossible to copy.
The cavalry provides cover for the infantry, and the infantry provides protection for the cavalry. They cooperate with each other and cooperate closely.
With that kind of cooperation, it would be almost impossible for one person to resist the attacks of these two armies.
However, at present, only the Habayashi Guards and the Tiger Guards can use this tactic.
Collaboration on foot and riding may seem simple, but in fact it is a very complex exercise.
Most people, even if they know the principles and organizational methods, cannot cooperate.
Because this not only requires tacit cooperation between infantry and cavalry, but also requires a high-intensity organizational system, an army that dares to block the guns of its comrades, and it also requires uninterrupted hard training day after day.
Finally, it is necessary to have an excellent team of officers to execute and cooperate.
These three are indispensable.
Apart from that, imagine how many countries in later generations would be able to cooperate with Tan, Bu, and Tan?
Except for the five gangsters, the rest are just chickens and dogs.
A certain local chicken was even embarrassed, and the reputation of the Leopard 2 tank was lost.
Although infantry-cavalry coordination and infantry-tank coordination are two completely different combat methods and combat systems, the principles behind them are the same.
The cavalry must cooperate with the infantry, including crossbowmen and crossbowmen. They need to know the advantages and disadvantages and reaction speed of these services, and they must be familiar with the fighting methods of friendly forces. The infantry needs to know the speed and characteristics of their own cavalry, and more
You must have the awareness to block the cavalry's gun at any time.
The enemy cannot be allowed to attack and sneak attack at will.
Now, although the Han army, mainly composed of Feihu Army and Xiliu Camp, cannot reach the level of Yulin Guard and Hu Ben Guard.
but……
But it has also reached the second level of cavalry.
And this realm is something that the current Huns cannot learn no matter what.
Because it requires a strong organizational system, a well-coordinated army, and more importantly, a deep sense of comradeship and a high sense of collective honor.
At this moment, the Hun army formation in the distance began to move.
The first one to rush over was the Huns' Black Crow Cavalry.
Four to five thousand horsemen came like a tide. Yi Zong just glanced at it and sighed: "Although the Huns have changed their equipment, they still haven't changed their combat methods..."
Such a dark swarm attack was the trump card tactic used by the Huns to dominate the world.
Rely on momentum and intimidation to intimidate the enemy.
However, this is a one-time deal!
If you win, you win. Once you lose, you lose everything...
Thinking of this, Yi Zong also felt a little emotional.
Once upon a time, the Huns were the teachers of the Han cavalry.
All the current cavalry of the Han family basically started by imitating and learning the tactics of the Huns.
Even the cavalry of the Feihu Army and the Juzhu Army were trained by Guiyi Hu people from the beginning.
but……
Today, the cavalry of the Han army already has its own tactics and combat methods.
But the Huns were standing still.
"The sages are right..." Yi Zong sighed in his heart: "The great etiquette is why it is called Xia, and the beauty of uniforms is called Hua... This is not only talking about Chinese etiquette and uniforms, but also describing China.
The power of the cultural system!”
Today, in Wuyuan of the Han family.
There are three types of cavalry in this world.
The first type is primitive cavalry like the Huns, who are ignorant and only know how to use brute force and their own muscles to show off their strength.
Such an army will naturally have nothing to fear when fighting with favorable conditions.
But once you encounter setbacks or failures, you are doomed.
Just like the Zhelan cavalry under Wu Zhou's attack, they were instantly wiped out by the impact of their breastplates.
The second type is the Han cavalry under Yi Zong.
Well-organized and well-disciplined, the soldiers feared the instructor's whip more than the enemy's sword.
Such an army can make Mount Tai collapse without changing its appearance.
The third type is the foot-cavalry coordination that is now being tried among the Yulin Guard and the Tiger Guard.
The cavalry provides protection for the infantry, and the infantry provides protection for the cavalry. They cooperate with each other on the battlefield and coordinate closely. Thousands of troops are like one person.
Such an army can already do this. Even if there are mountains of swords, seas of fire, and rain of arrows in front of it, it can still remain calm. Even if it is surrounded by many enemies, it can still break through it with force.
But such an army is really rare!
It took the Han Dynasty six years, using the power of the world and the elites selected from tens of millions of people, to create the Yulin Guards and the Tiger Guards.
As for the Huns?
I will never be able to create such an army in my next life!
Even the army currently commanded by Yi Zong is probably a model that they cannot imitate and cannot learn from.
This is the power of civilization, this is the power of system!
And when these forces are embodied in the army, it is enough to increase the army's combat effectiveness geometrically.
Just like the Qin army back then, it was clearly inferior to its opponents in terms of weapons, equipment and numbers.
However, the Qin army was able to suppress enemies several times their own and beat them wildly, which made the six eastern countries change their minds after hearing this, and they were called the Tiger and Wolf Army.
And today's Han army, the tiger and wolf divisions are no longer enough to describe.
Only Long and Fang are his correct names.
A dragon can be both dark and bright, long or short, thin or huge, able to hide or collect, move like thunder, and be as quiet as the sea! (To be continued.)
